ARC for Review
Stalking and restraining orders are a thing of Alayna Wither’s past. With her MBA newly in hand, she has her future figured out—move up at the nightclub she works at and stay away from any guy who might trigger her obsessive love disorder. A perfect plan.
But what Alayna didn’t figure on is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the nightclub. He’s smart, rich, and gorgeous—the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from if she wants to keep her past tendencies in check. Except, Hudson’s fixed his sights on her. He wants her in his bed and makes no secret of it.
Avoiding him isn’t an option after he offers a business proposition she can’t turn down and she’s drawn further into his universe, unable to resist his gravitational pull. When she learns Hudson has a dark history of his own, she realizes too late that she’s fallen for the worst man she could possibly get involved with. Or maybe their less than ideal pasts give them an opportunity to heal each other and finally find the love their lives have been missing.
The Way I See It
Okay what a fun and addictive read! Fake it till you make it, now there is an appropriate little quote. Fixed on you was 100% entertaining and even more sexy. This book is about two damaged people who find each other and embark on a sexy journey in search of finding who they are. This is a one sitting book. I inhaled it completely and was fixated from beginning to end. I’m definitely addicted to this story and I can’t wait to see what happens with Hudson and Alayna.
F-reedom, Alayna has earned her MBA. Now she has all the tools she needs to separate from her brothers hold and pursue her dreams.
I-ntrigue, enigmatic, sexy and controlling Hudson is immediately pulled towards Alayna. He will stop at nothing to pursue the curiosity that is beautiful and intelligent woman.
X-, Celia (hey x is hard I had to get creative...) although she is the reason for Hudson needing Alayna, Alayna has a hard time believing there isn’t more there than friendship for the both of them.
E-cstasy, Hudson takes Alayna passed her breaking point. In the bedroom their chemistry is undeniable.
D-readful, a mother who should be loving, kind and supportive is anything but. Sophia is heartless, I hope she realizes this and changes it before its too late.
O-pinions, everyone always has something to say about Hudson. He is determined to prove to everyone his feelings are real.
N-ervous, there is so much pressure resting on Alayna’s shoulders. All she wants to do is embrace this man that makes her so happy. The intensity of everyone’s judgment scares Alayna.
Y-earning, to be near Hudson whenever given the opportunity Alayna will do what it takes to be by his side. Dealing with Sophia is the most difficult of tasks.
O-wned, without realizing Alayna’s heart now belongs to Hudson. She knows she should walk away but she cant. Hudson has claimed her completely.
U-ntold, the love Hudson is experiencing is something very new. Though Alayna has bared her soul Hudson is reluctant in accepting his feelings.
I really enjoyed all of the characters in this book. Hudson’s sister was adorable and to die for. I could sense her adoration for her brother. I enjoyed seeing he had someone on his side. I have a soft spot for his father having to deal with his mother for so long. Sophia, Hudson’s mother was just awful. Cold, calculating, and cruel. I felt like she lived for others misery. I hope she realizes she needs help and she changes her life to better the lives of her children. This book has a lot of pretty shocking moments, that will leave your mouth ajar.
My Fav’s
Alayna
I love her because she is smart and beautiful. Her personality jumps out at you. She is a nerd but she’s no ninny. I love her wit and her strong will. Alayna poses both without realizing. She has had her issues but they are a part of her past. Even though some events cause her to fall off the wagon as it were, she knows what she must do. Seeking help is something that has helped her in the past, it was refreshing to see that she wouldn’t be deterred .
Hudson
Wow! Even though we got to see how amazing he is and we learned about his dark past. I.Want.More. I want him to redeem himself in some way. His actions towards Alayna are so endeering and sweet. To me none of it was an act and he really did fall in love with her the moment he saw her. I hope I’m right and he admits at some point. He is perfect for Alayna and I just love these two together.
My Rating
4.5 Night Club, Scotch, Graduation Gift, Chauffeur, Business Proposal, Beach Confession, Christened Couch, Leaning what Love is Filled Stars! For a SUPER SEXY and Fun read buy this book ASAP!!

About The Author
Laurelin Paige is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine. She is represented by Bob Diforio of D4EO Literary Agency.

ReplyDeleteI love reading about damaged characters for some reason. This one looks like good smexy times! I looooooove Adriana Lima! She’s my girl crush. My daughter is even named after her :)
ReplyDeleteI had my doubts about this book at first. The cover was so steamy that I thought I was going to be deceived by it.
